Provided by a name that has been well known in the electronics industry for over 100 years, Philips Lifeline medical monitoring offers seniors top-notch medical monitoring coupled with the latest in technology. From pendants that have the ability to detect falls and alert the monitoring center the moment the falls occurs to medication dispensing systems, Philips Lifeline is a medical alert system you’ll definitely want to consider.

For those who need assistance with installing the system, Philips Lifeline is a great solution. While most medical monitoring services are designed to be set up by the end-user, Philips Lifeline sends a skilled technician to the home to ensure everything is installed properly and that the system is securely connected to the monitoring center.

Another great feature Philips Lifeline offers is their AutoAlert Option, a pendant with the ability to detects falls. This pendant specifically detects the impact that occurs with a fall, and it is programmed to automatically alert their monitoring center whenever this occurs. So have no fear – if you or your loved one falls and can’t press the button, help is always there.

For seniors who have a hard time remembering not only when to take their medication but how much, Philip’s Lifeline Medication Dispensing Service is a sure way to avoid dangerous medication errors. This service includes a dispenser button for the medication, and an audio reminder when it's time to take each dose.

Philips Lifeline has two console options. The traditional base – their CarePartner Communicator – features a red help button, voice amplifier and 15 hours of backup battery power. The second console is their Cordless Phone Communicator, which features a cordless phone with large buttons that are easy to read and a lighted LED display for caller ID. Each base has a range of 800 feet.

Wristband or necklace attachments are available with each Philips Lifeline pendant, and each pendant has a 5-year life. All pendants are waterproof and can remotely answer the phone. There are three different pendants to choose from.

To plan smartly for future needs, an Independent Living Assessment is available on Lifeline's website. The test helps assess your daily needs, abilities and how these may change over time. Automatic monthly tests are included with Philips Lifeline, and these tests also serve as a way for users to test their console each month to make sure the system is working properly. Activity Monitoring, a daily check-in call from their monitoring center, is also available.

Philips Lifeline’s monitoring center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is UL listed, so you can have the peace of mind that every call will be answered, no matter the time, and at the quality level you deserve.

Toll-free phone and email are available contact options; however, their customer service hours are limited to regular business hours. You can request a free informational brochure via email on their site.
